Selangor Infrastructure, Public Facilities, Agriculture Modernisation and Agro-based Industry Committee chairman Izham Hashim said the LRA project was at the final stage of a feasibility study involving suitable system specifications, and this was expected to be completed at the end of this month.

“The project is crucial to Selangor’s 30-year water supply development plan. The first phase is expected to supply 700 million litres of water per day.

“The second phase, which is scheduled to be completed in 2028, will have the same capacity and it would supply water for consumers in Petaling,” he said at the Selangor state legislative assembly sitting here today.

He was responding to a question from Michelle Ng (PH-Subang Jaya) on the status of the Sungai Rasau LRA project.

Meanwhile, to a question from Azmizam Zaman Huri (PH-Port Klang) on the status of the Langat 2 LRA project, Izham said that work progress involving plant development, including the construction of a service pond and reticulation system, was at 30.4%.

He said “Stream B”, with a capacity of 565 million litres per day, had been authorised and became operational from Dec 21, 2019, but it could only supply 430 million litres of water per day.

“Stream A”, with the same capacity, was handed over to Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd on Oct 30.

“The overall project development involves a reticulation system with 23 packages.

“The Langat 2 water supply reticulation system comprising the Northern Corridor, is expected to be completed in December 2022. The West Corridor will be completed in December 2023,” he said.

Izham said the Langat 2 LRA project was funded by the federal government. The Selangor government will lease the plant for 45 years to manage water supply distribution to consumers.
